Chapter 26: Small Scope (Part 3)
After the joke, the Storm Lord said solemnly: "Hathaway and I have achieved preliminary results in removing the elemental 'impurities', and found that several elements have twins, triplets, and even quadruplets with very similar properties, and their biggest difference is reflected in the atomic weight, so the measurement of the atomic weight data is inaccurate, and after eliminating these interferences, it is completely consistent with your prediction of their atomic weight data and the position in the periodic table, which makes Hathaway and I no longer doubt the periodic law." ”
Lucien smiled a little puzzledly, "Could it be that my last proposal had an effect?"
Ever since Lucien "solved" the problem of thermal radiation experiments by proposing the hypothesis of "energy by one", coupled with the establishment of his atomic research institute and the establishment of his atomic research institute, Fernando has changed the form of teaching, and instead of teaching while reading letters, he is given weekly requirements, such as reading books on mathematics and different arcane fields, such as analyzing a certain five-ring magic, and then giving detailed instructions during the examination.
The progress of Fernando's own research project and the discussion with the Grand Arcanists could only be exchanged at the monthly meeting, so Lucien only learned today that the two Grand Arcanists had made a breakthrough in separating isotopes.
"No, it almost led us down the wrong path. Fernando said angrily, "These 'elements' with very similar properties and not too much difference in atomic weights were proposed by Hathaway to temporarily place them in the same position of the periodic table as similar elements, and called them equivalent elements." This leads us to abandon the theory of the indivisibility of atoms altogether. If atoms don't have a certain internal structure, why do they have such a strange phenomenon of the same element?"
"The paper we collaborated on was recently completed and is about to be published in the next issue of Arcane, which prepares most Arcanists and is trying to improve magic to study the mysteries inside the atom, which is a very difficult attempt. But I didn't expect you kid to fool around and discover a new particle that is far smaller than an atom. ”
"Although there is no definitive evidence that it belongs to the internal structure of an atom, the difference in magnitude is enough to convince everyone that it is not an atom, but a much smaller particle. It effectively broke the theory that atoms are the basic composition of matter. ”
Fernando still did not "praise" Lucien's experimental results. The evaluation was casual foolishness, but his expression was very serious: "This will have a big impact on many arcanists, especially those who use the elements as their basic field, so." Lucian, don't submit your paper just yet. Temporarily sealed. ”
"Hathaway and I will screen out some high-level arcanists who can take this in mind. Let them observe your experiments, corroborate your papers, and then go through their 'discussions' with the arcanists around them after they go down. Point out the contradiction between the periodic law and the atomic theory, gradually transform their thinking, soften their position, and minimize the loss of things. ”
This paper has been rigorously experimentally confirmed, and it must be treated more carefully than the last time, and cannot be directly submitted for review.
"I have no opinion. Lucien said that he agreed with the teacher's handling of the situation, and that no one could take the risk of his own results anyway, because there was a storm in charge.
Seeing Lucien leave his study, the Storm Master's temper walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and he was thinking about the candidate: "I have to choose a high-level arcanist who knows the dispensability of the atomic theory in the world, and a more enlightened high-level elemental will who has doubts about the atomism through the periodic law of the elements...... Can't be leaked to the Pale Hand and the Song of the Silver Moon Alliance, hmph, if they know the Dao, will they let go of this opportunity to strike at the will of the elements?"
Among the six organizations of the Magic Council, the Elemental Will, the Pale Hand, and Palmeira's hut are the strongest, with a Grand Arcanist and a legendary mage standing behind them, the Elemental Will is the "Elemental Dominator" Hathaway, the "Creator" Davey, the Pale Hand is the "Revenant Master" Vicente and the "Demigod Lich" Congus, and the Palmella's hut is the "Ice Witch" Helen Paris and the "Air Lord" Herculi.
Behind the League of Songs of the Silver Moon is the legendary magician "Silvermoon Scholar" Chelsea Holt, but has a close relationship with the "Emperor of Control" Brooke, the Wizard's House is the two legendary magicians "Cursed Eye" and "Transfiguration Master", and the Tower is a research-oriented "prophet" who has the best relationship with the Parliamentary faction.
The remaining Grand Arcanists and Legendary Mages are all council factions.
After thinking about it for a long time, Fernando's temper began to become irritable: "This kid's ability to cause trouble is almost exceeding his arcane and magical abilities, and I have to help make up for it later!"
Something that has only happened once in the past few decades has occurred on a monthly basis, and it has been a headache for the storm master.
............
A few days later.
When Lazar, Roque, Sprint and others wanted to play the spirit of "the institute is my home, and it is all in it", they were inexplicably given a day off.
This makes them scratch their hearts and livers, they still have a lot of experiments to do, and they don't want to rest!
However, Jerome hurried to ask his wife out for a tryst, making up for the neglect of staying up late to come home in the previous month, and envious of the two bachelors, Lazar and Roque, whose eyes glowed green.
However, the "Atomic Research Institute" is unprecedented.
There are His Excellency Douglas, the Speaker whom Lucien knows, Hathaway, the "Elemental Dominator", Fernando, his teacher, and Oliver, the "Hand of Annihilation" whom Lucien met for the first time.
With the exception of the uninvited Emperor of Control, the Lord of the Dead, and Helen, who had just left for two days, all the Grand Arcanists had arrived.
At the same time, Lucien also saw several legendary magicians, including Klaus, who always smiled evilly and wore a blonde girl puppet by his side, that is, the inventor of the magic steam train, and Atlante, the "cursed eye" with a gloomy face and eyes that were always closed, a total of four legendary magicians.
And there are more than forty high-level arcanists, including Maurice, Lavendi, Gaston, Loklinny and other magicians who are already doubting the atomic theory within the elemental will. There are also other non-elemental high-level mages and archmages.
They filled the small conference room of the "Atomic Research Institute", and Lucien couldn't help but think to himself: if there was an accident and all the magicians in this conference room were killed, then the Magic Council would be about the same.
"Lucian?Evans, is your experiment to confirm the discontinuity of energy?" asked a tall, thin and elegant old man with implicit hostility as Lucien opened the mirrored passage between the conference room and the laboratory and prepared to enter the laboratory for a demonstration.
Lucien had just heard the teacher mention that he was Archmage Roland, the main supporter of the Energy Essentialism Theory, and the recipient of the Silver Moon Medal and the Ice and Snow Medal. Member of the Arcane Review Committee. Specializes in electromagnetism, light and darkness, heat and force field magic.
Some of the high-level arcanists who didn't know the situation of the Dao all looked up at Lucian, and this was also their question.
Of course, they don't think it's a confirmation of energy discontinuity, and that such a shocking experiment would have a devastating effect. The Grand Arcanists would certainly not agree to Lucian's demonstration.
"The discovery of a new particle. Lucien was succinct. Didn't argue with Roland.
"Could it be the particles inside the atom?" was hinted at beforehand by Hathaway and Fernando. Gaston, who was mentally prepared, guessed a little excitedly and a little daunted.
"It's all about experiments. Lavendi watched solemnly as Lucien walked into the lab.
Morris kept a straight face: "Whether it is the particles inside the atom or not, I have a hunch that I will be very heartbroken." ”
The experiment is not difficult. After dealing with the vacuum problem, it was the adjustment of the electric and magnetic fields, and the arcanists who had obtained the data through the mirror magic array combined with the inaccurate amount of charge they had measured before made a silent calculation.
It didn't take long for Lavendi to whisper with a little excitement: "The mass is only about one thousandth of a hydrogen atom!"
Even the heavy elements behind the periodic table have atomic weights at most dozens of times that of hydrogen atoms, so from the magnitude difference, it can already be preliminarily determined that this particle is not an atom, but a smaller particle, unless there are one or two thousand more vacancies in front of the periodic table.
With the exception of Lavendi, the rest of the elemental mages were momentarily distracted, and although they were all selected for their suspicion of atomism, there was still a sense of loss when they actually saw new particles smaller than atoms, just as they had when they finally realized that the good memories of their childhood would never be repeated.
Roland watched the experiment intently, and loudly praised Lucien, who returned to the conference room, "A great experiment!"
Lucien didn't expect Roland, who was still nervous just now, to congratulate himself like this.
"It fundamentally rejects atomism, confirms the nihilism of atoms, and only by acknowledging that energy constitutes everything can we explain the fact that atoms can be divided and that there are smaller particles. Roland's eyes flashed with frenzy.
The natural enemy of energy essentialism is the atomism of matter!
Roland, who was glared at by Lavendi and the others, continued unnoticed: "Congratulations, Evans, you have brought the world's understanding closer to the essence. ”
Lucien scrambled before Lavendi roared, and said seriously: "On the contrary, I think that the discovery of smaller particles illustrates the materiality of atoms, which may also have a unique internal structure......
As Lucien prepares to elaborate further, Douglass interrupts their argument by raising his hand.
Glancing around the conference room, seeing that the selected arcanists had initially accepted the new particles, and had no signs of recognizing the shaking of the world, Douglas was quite relieved: "We have witnessed a great experiment, which shows us that the basis of matter is not only the atom, but also the more microscopic world, which opens up a whole new field of research for us." ”
"Although the accurate measurement of the charge of this particle, its relationship with atoms, etc., still needs to be further studied, the contribution of the Atomic Research Institute and Lucian Evans cannot be erased, and this is a huge step for the entire Arcane world!"
......
"For this kind of disruptive outcome, I think the current form of adaptation on a small scale is good and worthy of being a regular step towards similar events in the future. ”
After Douglas finished speaking, Oliver said directly: "I have a question, how to identify the disruptive results, and who will identify them? This is a very dangerous thing. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, most of the arcanists' eyes were focused on Lucian.
What are you watching me do? What does this matter to me? Lucien had a bad premonition. (To be continued......)
